Giovani Lo Celso

[Guido 🇺🇦]

I'm still saying Les Kelso.

You say Kelso I say Selso
Kelso, Selso
Kelso, Selso
Let's call the whole thing off.

 

[FightingIllini]

The lad himself says Sellso in the vid.

It's an Italian surname so would have been Chelso originally, but in Spanish the C before an E or I is pronounced like an English S.

Yeah that's exactly right. Like tons of Argentine's including Poch he's of Italian heritage, so it's an Italian name being sort of merged into Spanish.

Betcha his grandparents say Chelso.

 

[Rodger]

I confidently predict that in no time at all he'll be as fluent in English as all the other Argies we've had at this club.



ps - I love them unconditionally.

 

[MVP]

My nickname for him is Greater London Council.

My surname begins with Ci, and pronounced Chee (Italian origin), and I always correct people when they get it wrong, although I don't expect them to get it right. Ch in Italian is pronounced Ck, so we all pronounce Poch's name incorrectly too, but he said in an early interview that it doesn't bother him, Gio is probably the same.

 

[VirginiaSpur]

I'm going to order a #18 shirt with Lo Chelso printed on the back.

 

[Neumanator]

It's LO CELSO ffs

On the UEFA website they have a page specifically to present the correct pronunciation of certain players that pundits/general public have problems with. They have this definition as the agreed pronunciation:
Giovani Lo Celso – Gee-oh-var-ni Low Sell-so

 

[Danboy Totter]

Let's hope he is as good as the last Giovani we had at Spurs

Y’all. This is the fucking song:
Wake me up before you go go,
Who needs Bale when you’ve got Lo Celso

There are no arguments.

If he bombs, you can change it to "Lo Sellso"

[BernardMatthews]

I’m part Scottish.

So I’m going with Loch Elso.

It hadn't occurred to me that he might also know some of our players from his time at PSG - I guess he knows Lucas and Aurier, as well as the Argentine lot. That's a decent handful of players to know when you join a new club; can only help with settling in.
